What
do people think
when they try to put me down.
I know it cannot be
of His royal crown.
I wonder what they think
when they hit me.
Surely not the beating of
the One that died upon the tree.
So what are people thinking
when they do these things so cruel.
Don't they realize, Father, it
is a further step from You?
Can't they think of nice
things to say and do instead?
Why do they listen to the meanness
in their head?
Can't they weep for love of You
before they strike out so mean?
Can't they try to touch You
and then come back and touch me?
I know if they, first to You go,
they would not hurt me so bad
for You will have taken
their sting away, their sadness
and their sorrow.
You would tell them all about
a brighter tomorrow.
Touch more hearts, Father!
It makes me sad
when one reaches out in despair
and attacks all those around.
When all they have to do is
let their knees find the ground,
let their sorrows flow
for the One in heaven catches
them all, this I surely know.
Father, when they do reach out in unkind
and if it is my heart they seek
then let them find Your love there
and your eternal peace.
Amen
